Just wondering, thought I'd type my address into the whats available at my address thingy of two providers, and one said up to 2 gig is available and the other said up to 4gig.

 

Why the difference ?

Could be to do with the amount of bandwidth each individual ISP allocates to the different Hyperfibre plans?

A number of RSPs are only offering 2Gig plans, some are offering 2,4 and 8. 2Degrees are the only one I am aware of only offering 2 and 4.

Hyperfibre plans require higher capacity equipment to support the greater bandwidth. Not every ISP has the money to upgrade or the market share to make it worthwhile. So yeh, not every ISP is going to offer the same plans in each area. It will depend on what they are able to support. ^Richard

Thanks. I was thinking that as the 4gig offer is from a big company and the 2gig offer from a small one, but also though maybe one just had more up to date info or something.
